    Summary

    “We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”

    He feels himself grow brittle inside, like a flick of a finger to his temple might make him shatter. His ears are ringing.

    “Who’s the lucky bride?” he asks despite himself. His tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.

    Or: The story of a marriage.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian chuckles and starts pushing Lan Wangji's outer robes off his shoulders. "Poor Lan Zhan, subject to such earthly miseries. You must be exhausted, come to bed, come to bed."

    "Mm," Lan Wangji says. He raises his arms so that Wei Wuxian can keep undressing him. His clothes will end up on the floor, but no matter. Wei Wuxian's deft hands at his belts are worth wrinkled robes.

    "... Goodness, Hanguang-Jun, you wear too many damned layers," Wei Wuxian tells him after a while. "Would it kill you to stop after a reasonable five?"

    --

    Wei Wuxian moves into the Jingshi. They sleep together.

    Summary

    “Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”

    Summary

    "Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."

    Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."

    --

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

    Summary

    "I...." He breathed out through his nose. At last, he decided he simply needed to say it before it utterly consumed him. So, perhaps a tad louder than he wished, he finally said, "I wish to kiss Wriothesley."

    At once, there was that tightness in his chest, that heat in the pit of his stomach, that dizzying feeling in his head.

    "Oh, Monsieur..." Sedene said softly, and he wasn't quite sure how to take that response.

    --

    This is a fic about Neuvillette and Wriothesley, both virgins, never having kissed anyone, never having any romantic experience at all for their own particular reasons, falling in love. And it is, more specifically, about Wriothesley's own insecurity, and needing Neuvillette to gently pull down the walls he's put up to protect himself.
